1 & 1

This is what I do also. Also heard on R&B this week that Garry Vines the Spur Master got a ticket for not checking his turkeys this year.

I killed 3 and reported them all. I even posted pics here of 2 of them. I reported all my turkeys and also participate in the Avid Hunter project for turkey and report every hunt.

I liked our old system better, but GC is what we have and I can't see them changing it. Government never goes backwards on regulations; it's always going forward.

I lied and reported deer that I didn't actually kill. Factor guys like me that just wanna see the world burn into your figurin'

That does happen. People playing the numbers game will make it up and show the numbers to friends. I can assure you I have known some who would do just that.

Of all the things in this world to lie about, why on God's green Earth would you pick such an insignificant topic like deer hunting. People blow my mind. I hate the world we live in.

So since all of us reported how about "rumors" of people that didnt report.

I only have one brother and I have the conclusion he is simply not capable of telling the truth. No matter how significant or not. You can take whatever he says, go with the opposite and you would be good that way but only that way. I haven't seen him in 5-6 years and that was too &%#@-&% recent. NO WAY he will use GC...Or the seasons...Or the limit

I feel your pain.....

Thank God mine does not hunt!

If I ever kill a deer or turkey in the state again I'll check it. I wanna be progressive and not a lazy leech.

You dang sure better not kill it on your own property UNLESS you buy a license, hire a professional biologist to manage it, have at least one cellular hog trap on the property and shoot it with a Benjamin Airgun!!!

Nah, I just poach on other property with my crossbow from my vehicle. Tool of the Devil!

Mike Handley can kiss my butt. "TOOL OF THE DEVIL" was my quote to Handley at CAB. I saw his eyes grow big and he started to drool upon me making that statement. I told him that I was talking in Metaphor and that I was just trying to convey in comparison to a TRADBOW and that was 100 percent off the record. He swore to me he understood and that he would never ever put that in print. The next day headlines read CROSSBOW TOOL OF DEVIL. He even misrepresented it to a representative of BHA instead of ASTB. Now you know the rest of the story...

Actually I was wanting to give the law abiding and non hating DCNR hunter a chance to post.

Based on the 54 replies to this thread compared to the 201 for the Sykes is Frustrated thread, I think one can reason that the GC participation percentages seem to be fairly accurate even among the aldeer crowd.

I have posted in both.....and reported every deer I killed AND wrote em on the silly little paper before that.

So, how does that affect the math??

I don't know where you get either one of those idiotic statements from Barry. Grabbed out of yer ass?????

Barry, you and I have emailed and I respect your position, but to give the impression that those on the other thread are not law abiding is gross misrepresentation. No on has said that that anyone is not law abiding. I don't think you implying it against of bunch of the posters on the other thread (me being one of them) is a good thing.

For some reason some of those that are or were in the Alabama "system" and in cahoots with Sykes seem to think that that the hunting population must agree with every jot and tittle of what Sykes thinks or they are non law abiding and haters. That is simply not the case and I for one take offense to you implying it.

Barry, serious question and I am not implying anything. Have you gained or do you stand to gain from Sykes having control? I am not throwing darts, but if the answer is yes to either one of those, you should probably disclaim your opinion when you state it.

I don't think anyone here hates the DCNR. We may have individuals we don't like, laws we don't like, or systems we don't like. But overall I don't think any of us hate the DCNR. In the past we have worked well together, or as good as you could expect. I've said from the beginning and I still believe it, the people in the woods (GWs and biologist) are caught in the middle with a lot of their PR work being damaged by systems and individual/groups. I also still believe those field guys could have developed a system and sold it better than anyone else in DCNR. But it is my understanding they were mostly just dictated what to do. So, we don't hate the Dept.
